Chilling Power: A Closer Look Under the Hood of the REDMAGIC 10S Pro

To stay ahead in this industry, you need to adapt to growing trends and constantly push to implement the latest features. This gives you an edge over the competition and establishes you as a leader in the field. Fortunately, at REDMAGIC, we’ve always strived to keep our finger on the pulse - consistently improving and elevating designs to keep up with emerging demands and advanced technology.

This dedication is plainly seen in our latest flagship smartphone, the 10S Pro. Since its creation, the REDMAGIC 10S Pro has promised to be “Unstoppable. Unbeatable. Undisputed.” The pioneering device barreled into the market and immediately began disrupting the way power and performance have been prioritized in gaming smartphones. In this blog article, we magnify the performance and cooling capabilities of the phone and how they’ve actively transformed the mobile gaming landscape.

Efficiency, Now Elevated

When it comes to power and performance, a gaming smartphone has some big boots to fill. With demanding graphics and the need for rapid processing, these devices need to be agile. This ensures smoother gameplay, faster responses, and higher frame rates, which are all essential in the modern mobile gaming arena. This is why we prioritized performance when it came to the chipset behind the 10S Pro.

Our latest powerhouse smartphone is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version, which features Qualcomm’s next-generation custom Oryon™ CPU. This chipset was uniquely designed to advance on-device generative AI and excels at handling complex multi-modal AI tasks while safeguarding user privacy. Combined with the enhanced Adreno™ GPU, NPU, and connectivity capabilities, this phone easily sets a new benchmark for flagship mobile experiences.

However, the power flows further with our very own upgraded AI RedCore R3 Pro chip to enhance gameplay and prioritize performance. Our enhanced R3 chip allows the 10S Pro to seamlessly offload gaming-specific tasks while optimizing display, cooling, battery, and performance management, allowing the Snapdragon chipset to stay focused on priority power concerns.

Our AI-enabled R3 chip also goes a step further to incorporate super-resolution technology to sharpen in-game textures and enhance visual clarity, without ever straining the main processor. This ensures 120Hz frame concurrency for several popular games and allows the 10S Pro to easily achieve a 120Hz refresh rate through frame rate boosting and interpolation, scaling each game to 120 FPS. Paired with up to LPDDR5T and upgraded UFS 4.1 Pro, the device guarantees smooth data processing, faster multitasking, and quicker loading times.

The remarkable chipset of the 10S Pro pushes boundaries, even with its predecessor, the 10 Pro. The phone seamlessly delivers a 30% power boost and finds its eight-core CPU architecture clocked up to 4.47GHz when compared to the 10 Pro’s 4.32GHz. The 10S Pro also enjoys a GPU boosted from the 10 Pro’s 1,100MHz to 1,200MHz, combined with an AI performance enhanced by 40%.

However, the 10S Pro won’t just dominate with friendly fire, but it also pushes the bar when compared to other smartphones on the market. According to tests by CNET, the 10S Pro heartily beats last year's 10 Pro and the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro , which both run on the earlier edition of the Snapdragon Elite processor. The 10S Pro goes further to even beat the $1,300 Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra while costing hundreds of dollars less.

With another high score, Journal du Geek gave the 10S Pro an 8 out of 10 ranking as well, stating that the phone pushes performance to the max. When running their benchmark tests, they found that the phone seamlessly overtook the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S2+, the Samsung Galaxy S24, and several others. In closing, the review states that the 10S Pro is “quite simply the most powerful Android smartphone available right now.”

The Italian publication, Tech Everyeye, also took to reviewing the 10S Pro’s performance and promptly labeled it as a smartphone that is rightly proud of mounting “the most powerful SoC currently on the market, capable of supporting all the games available on the Play Store without major problems.” The review maintained that the performance of the phone remained at the top of the market with an AnTuTu Benchmark v.10.5.1. score of 2,647,590.

Power That Keeps Its Cool

Another key highlight of the 10S Pro spec sheet has to be its enhanced cooling capacity. Built to withstand extensive gaming, the gaming smartphone comes armed with an advanced version of our ICE-X cooling system. The cutting-edge 10-layer design uses precisely placed Liquid Metal 2.0, a 12,000 mm² vapor chamber, and a high-speed turbo fan to keep things cool.

While liquid metal, with a thermal conductivity of 200 W/m·K, is typically used to cool laptops and high-end devices, there was an issue with the low viscosity of the material that made it challenging to implement effectively in mobile devices. However, we managed to create an innovative solution that processes liquid metal into a solid-state piece. This allowed us to reposition the material directly over the chip, providing 30% more coverage and reducing the CPU temperature by up to 5°C when compared to the 10 Pro. This decision ensures efficient heat dissipation for smoother gameplay and consistent stability.

Additionally, the vapor chamber inside the 10S Pro, along with graphene and copper insulation, ensures stable frame rates and prevents throttling for a smooth gaming experience. The high-speed turbofan also adds to the active cooling by running quietly at 4dB and spinning at 23,000 RPM, seamlessly cooling the system while also offering customizable RGB fan lighting for a personal touch.

No Limits. No Heat. No Problem.

Our gaming smartphones have gone through several generations of improvements over the years. This commitment to innovation and flexibility has kept us ahead of the game when it comes to providing the best for our fans. Now, the REDMAGIC 10S Pro can proudly showcase the latest powerhouse performance and cooling capabilities without breaking a sweat. At REDMAGIC, our dedication ensures that staying at the top of the game is simply another day for us.
